Picture Frame

Large paperclips make the frame, which is covered by colored paper candy straws.  Tooth picks (also covered by straws) form the corner braces.  An eye hook is wire-tied on to make a hanger.    

Fiesta Earrings

Paperclips make the earring hooks.  A wire tie hoop is affixed to the earring with a clipped off eye hook.  Slivers of colorful plastic straw, carefully singed to curl up their edges, are mounted on the wire tie hoop and the cross-mounted toothppick. 
Mobile

I made a mobile of straws connected by wire ties.  The eyehooks are glued to the top of the straws.  The bottom of the straw is folded up with a toothpick for a mast, with paperclips opened to represent sailboats.  A twist tie secures the sailboats.
